Fine Art Substrates

We use the best of breed inkjet substrates, which allows us to provide high quality archival giclee prints to our artists.
For a true Giclee print you need to have a 12 colour pigment ink system and "archival" substrates. Substrates is a term that refers to anything an image can be printed on. In this case we are referring to fine art papers and Canvases. As you can imagine archival refers to the longevity of the print and this is a dependant on a combination of the media and ink.
All our media, sheet or roll is certified as acid free; this means that there is no acid in the media that can erode and degrade your image over time. Below is a small selection of archival media that we are able to provide. If you are looking for a specific type of fine art paper or canvas that is not mentioned below please contact us and we will order it in for you.
